Method of making a bias weave honeycomb core structure

Abstract

Abstract A HONEYCOMB CORE STRUCTURE MADE OF FABRIC REINFORCED MATERIAL IN WHICH THE WARP AND THE WOOF OF THE FABRIC ARE DISPOSED AT AN OBLIQUE ANGLE TO THE LONGITUDINAL AXES OF THE HONEYCOMB CELLS. THE CORE IS MANUFACTURED BY FORMING NON-RECTANGULAR PARALLELOGRAM SHAPED SECTIONS OF FABRIC REINFORCED MATERIAL WITH THE WARP AND THE WOOF OF THE FABIRC BEING DISPOSED AT AN OBLIQUE ANGLE TO TWO SIDES OF THE PARALLELOGRAM, JOINING THE OTHER TWO SIDES OF ADJACENT PARALLELOGRAMS TOGETHER IN SERIAL RELATIONSHIP TO FORM A WEB IN WHICH THE WARP AND WOOF OF THE FABRIC ARE DISPOSED AT AN OBLIQUE ANGLE TO THE LATERAL EDGES OF THE WEB, CUTTING THE WEB AT RIGHT ANGLES TO ITS LATERAL EDGE TO FORM EQUAL RECTANGULAR SECTIONS, SUPERIMPOSING A PLURALITY OF RECTANGULAR SECTIONS ONE UPON ANOTHER IN A STACK, AND OVERLAPPING AND ADHERING CONTIGUOUS EDGES OF THE RECTANGULAR SECTIONS TO ONE ANOTHER ALONG SPACED PARALLEL BONDING LINES WITH THE BONDING LINES OF ADJACENT SUPERIMPOSED SECTION BEING STAGGERED RELATIVE TO ONE ANOTHER TO DEFINE A PLURALITY OF ADJACENT CELLS WHOSE LONGITUDINAL AXES ARE PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER AND PERPENDICULAR TO TWO SIDES OF THE SUPERIMPOSED RECTANGULAR SECTIONS.
